Nests? Yes, nests. You see, we strongly believe that to get to breakthrough innovation, you've got to build a flat culture based on curiosity, trust, meritocracy, emotional intimacy, and, critically, fun. In our experience you can only achieve this with groups of less than 50 people — just enough where everyone can know everyone else's first name.
So we build nests — small, intentionally built micro-cultures of no more than 50 people in one space. Within each nest we flatten the management structure and everyone is empowered to deliver greatness. Once a nest approaches 50 people, it's time to think about creating a new nest.
This sounds quite simple and it is. But we've seen no better way to consistently build a culture that consistently produces extraordinary results.
Working at Essential is nothing if not fun. We value huge intellects with very small egos. We like to laugh and laugh hard. And we love exploring the unexplored together — pushing each other and our clients forward to create things and do things that have never been done before.
Yes, money is important. But if you are working in software development and innovation, you don't really have to worry about money. What is vastly more important to us is the opportunity to make a real impact with what we do.
We aspire to world-changing projects, and while not all of ours are quite that grand, Essential definitely makes a huge impact on our clients' businesses.
Do you think you have the intellectual horse-power and innate curiosity to make an impact at Essential? Then we'd like to talk to you!
